Can heavy cream be frozen?

One of the things I had to bring to easter dinner was cream to whip for dessert. Unfortunately I took everything except the cream and didn't think about it until I was almost there (45 mins away). Easter dinner was saved, I just stopped and bought more. But now I have six 1/2 pints of cream. Anyone know? Thanks

I keep bacon in my freezer at all times divided into parcels of six strips for use in various recipes. Sometimes that bacon has been in my freezer for a year, albeit well wrapped, and it has always been fine when thawed.

I've opened the heavy cream in Jan. and found it in the back of my fridge today. I tasted a small amount and it was not sour. Could it have stayed good all this time? I'm not going to trust it and I'm running out for more. Just curious!

UP heavy cream doesn't whip nearly as well as cream processed by standard pasteurization, and I agree with the OP that freezing it lessen the whipping potential. I have 3 pints of UP heavy cream in my freezer, but I usually save it for cooking and making ice cream.

Frozen heavy cream will still whip but you will only get about 1/2 the volume that you normally would, and it only last for a hour or 2

Heavy cream that i intend to whip is bought within 2 days of use and NEVER frozen.

Yes, you can freeze whipped cream, but after it is thawed, it will not work as an ingredient in emulsions (e.g., ice cream or custards) nor will it whip into whipped cream. However, you can make ganache with it, or use it in cake batter, or in coffee or hot chocolate. I frequently freeze heavy cream when I have too much on hand, and thaw it to make ganache when I need to frost a cake. Hope this helps.

No. I just tried freezing half a carton of Horizon Organic Heavy Whipping Cream. Three weeks later I let it thaw only to find a horrible mess. It completely separated into curds and whey. It was 100% destroyed and could not be used for anything.

When cream is frozen, the fat molecules bind together. This is what separated. The cream could be heated to melt the fat and used in a soup or something. Blending it probably just made tiny bits of butter.
